As the central plaza/concourse opens
up before you, the magnificent Hacienda
Compound beckons on the right. Enter
through the center portal with its unique
ornamental gate. Take your time visiting the
main house, the attached bedrooms and
courtyard.
Now depart through the east porch
archway leading to a secluded side garden.
Behold the carefully restored Patio – and
the as yet unrestored Wash House. Leo lived
in this tiny building for many months while the
rest of the rancho was being constructed. Look
for the gate at the left hand corner and pass
through. Watch your footing!
View the spectacular Barbecue, Pool,
Sand Beach and Cabana. Ah, sorry, no
swimming allowed. Note the towering
Windmill that faithfully served the pool’s needs.
Alas, no more.
Return to the hacienda courtyard
through the striking Bride’s Arch (a favorite
spot for picture-taking). Now turn right, cross
the bridge and contemplate the steep trail that
leads to one of the Park’s most popular
features. Are you up to it?
